The National Wrote a Song for the New Hunger Games Movie

"The song almost didn't make it because it was too dark"

We haven't heard much news about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack since Coldplay shared their contribution, "Atlas", earlier this month. But the National recently told NME that they wrote a song for the film. It was originally called "Dying Is Easy", which was thought to be "too dark" and changed to "Lean".

"The song almost didn't make it because it was too dark," Matt Berninger said. "Which I thought was sort of funny because [the movie] is about killing kids. I don't know how a song can be darker than that?" There's no tracklist out yet, but Ellie Goulding is also rumored to be on the soundtrack. The movie's in theaters on November 22; listen to Coldplay's song here.
